Love of Fear Cruel intentions are used in the play “The Crucible” written by Author Miller in 1952. Lies, and witchcraft were spread like a wild fire through the town of Salem, Massachusetts. Though, one character stands out to me, Mary Warren. Though she is like the other “accuser’s”, Mary did a turn of events to prove herself to be a bit inadequate. Mary Warren was at first, a little cold-blooded. At the beginning of “The Crucible”, she was one of the girls caught dancing and conjuring spirits in the forest with Abigail. She becomes an element of the court that chastises witches. At first, she seems to savor the competence it gives her, but then soon becomes softhearted when she realizes innocent people are being accused of witchcraft.
